I'm going to buy my first property within the next couple of months and I'm curious about how people manage their properties when they are not within a driveable distance of them.I understand they have property managers but where do you find them?

We have 60 rentals12 air bb units, Ohio  and Fla. 15-20  flips and wholesales, between buy and sell close at any point. 

Can you find a way to capitalize on their work even if you don't buy "their deal".

Instead of buying existing properties and rehabbing them, the idea is to partner with a builder who constructs new rental properties, then refinance and rent them out. 

The biggest mistake a first-time investor makes is never buying. 

I gravitate towards "red states" given the landlord-friendly laws and relative ease of evictions, which unfortunately are unavoidable in the buy and hold game.

paid parking is definitely a niche, Kevin Bupp buys these.

Well, what would be happening is that your buyer would be buying your house subject to the existing note, since you can't legally sell the property without paying off that note or transferring the debt to the new buyer.

good area to buy. would love to discuss if you are looking for financing options

Parts of Garden City Beach are prone to flooding, so if you're buying a single-family house you'd definitely want Flood insurance.
